Default Citation attempts barrel roll - crashes . . .

An Czech Republic registered Citation 550B, flying a dead leg from Prague, to Karlstad, Sweden just after crossing into German airspace with two crew on board attempted a barrel roll.

Too bad. I wish they had earned their Darwin Award a different way. There are just enough dumb people out there to brand the pilot profession as reckless and cavalier.

3-4 yrs ago a guy tried to loop a Sabre 80 after buzzing a family reunion. Stalled at the top of the loop and was unable to recover. Made a very large smoking hole. This was a very high time Sabre pilot. you have to wonder what get's in a persons head.
